Following this important oc- casion the dance got underway with Ken Birch and George Cowie taking charge of the fes- tivities. This time they brought along a cobbler of theirs, One Johnny Groulx. to round out the combo. There has never been a time at the local hall when these two melody lads didn’t come up with their best. During the evening there was‘ a mystery winner. This time round it was Mrs. Audrey Ap- perly with No. 583.. Congrats Audrey.

Recently we had business at’ ye olde Legion Hall. While there we had the fortune to make the acquaintance of Mrs. Rilla Poole and her brother Comrade Eric Brown of Prince Georgep British Columbia.

Well; June 25 was the day. Playing against Stouffville at the end of the first half. the score was 11-3 against. The referee called time and everyone took a breather. Came the second half and the lads from Branch 375 went bat‘ happy. Final score 31 to 13 in our favor. Unbeleavable! See‘ they got. us so excited that we forgot how to spell. Not only did they win in the morning game but went out Sunday eve- ning and won again. Come out some time and give these lads your support.
